About us

Rudi and Nancy, owners of Villa Maquis, like to introduce ourselves and share our story...

In preparation of our retirements we decided in 2015 to come to Crete and build our holiday house. We visited Greece and its island many times before during our holidays and we also lived and worked there about 2 years. Because of this link we decided to select the island of Crete.

In 2017 our first vacation villa in Crete (Villa Limani in Litsarda) was finished and we moved in. In the years after that we both had the opportunity to stop working and we extended our stay on Crete for about 6 month per year. July and August we decided to rent out and the remaining time we still live in Belgium.

Because we feel very happy and relaxed in this amazing place we decided to build a bigger villa. Villa Maquis offers all the luxury we have in Western Europe and allows us to enjoy our well deserved pension.

In 2023 we moved in to Villa Maquis and we sold Villa Limani.

With Villa Maquis, we wanted to do more than build a luxury villa, we wanted to create a "LIFESTYLE".  The villa provides all the modern luxury that people have in their homes. This vacation home does not feel like a rental. 

The villa provides everything to enjoy the benefits of the Greek life, mountains, sea, views, nature, sun, fun, relaxing...

At villa Maquis the focus is on creating memories, togetherness but also privacy. Not everyone wants to socialize all day but would appreciate some time by himself.

We want to share our happyness and for a limited time we share our villa with guests, This allows us to offer quality and exclusivity.
